Product Sourcing

Making sure we source the best quality, freshest plants and ingredients is VERY important, as it affects the final product quality and potency. You can see, feel, and smell the difference. That’s why I source from a variety of farms, so the medicine I produce is its most potent.

Our raw honey, raw apple cider vinegar (with the mother), and organic alcohol are sourced from USA-owned, non-GMO, organic, family-owned companies that also prioritize product quality and sustainability.

We are always trying to find the balance of sustainability in packaging and practices while also making sure your order comes to you unharmed - currently, bubble wrap is working really well.

Rooted Woman Botanicals is a small, mama-owned business. I say “we” often but currently it is a one-woman operation and includes my daughters helping me along the way. I speak prayers for thriving health over each batch, and I deeply believe this affects the final product.

FAQs

  • Oxymels are a delicious and nutritive way to get in your herbal medicine! Herbs are steeped for a moon cycle in RAW apple cider vinegar and then honey is added after straining. This is the best way to extract vitamins and minerals from the plant, which is why we use it for the pre/postnatal multivitamin/mineral elixir.

    Optimal storage is in a cool, dark place, and they will last around 6-12 months.

    Oxymels are kitchen medicine - that means you can't really go wrong! With an apple cider vinegar and honey base instead of an alcohol extract, there is less of a specific dose.

    There are suggested doses of 1-3 teaspoons per day, but please follow your intuition. In our 8 oz bottles of the NOURISH herbal pre/postnatal elixir, there are 48 teaspoons - so if you wanted to make it last a month, you would take about 1.5 teaspoons per day.


    They are delicious taken straight or pour a dose into your favorite sparkling drink or add to a smoothie or latte.

  • All of our herbal tinctures are made as elixirs - herbs steeped for a moon cycle in organic alcohol and raw honey. This lends a bit of sweetness and the vitamin/probiotic/enzyme benefits of honey, which makes it easier to take, while the alcohol extracts the herbal constituents best.

    Dosage for elixirs are generally around 3 dropperfuls or 3/4 teaspoon

    We recommend using elixirs within 2 years. They never really go “bad”, they will just lose potency after that time. Optimal storage is in a cool, dark place.

  • PREGNANCY:

    Our NOURISH herbal pre/postnatal elixir has all pregnancy-safe herbs.

    Our SUNSHINE mood support elixir is best used before or after pregnancy - in the postpartum time and beyond.
